Verse (2:113)

The analysis above refers to the 113th verse of chapter 2 (sūrat l-baqarah):

Sahih International: The Jews say "The Christians have nothing [true] to stand on," and the Christians say, "The Jews have nothing to stand on," although they [both] recite the Scripture. Thus the polytheists speak the same as their words. But Allah will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that over which they used to differ.
